Although we don’t know the extent of Vanity Fair’s rumored expose on Gwyneth Paltrow, one thing we do know: it aint pretty. Gwyneth’s lived a fairly private life, and even though there were plenty of inklings of trouble in her marriage, we never really knew anything concrete. However, that might change soon.

Last week, a report released claiming that Gwyneth actually had an affair with a famous literary figure while married to Chris Martin. Although Gwyneth and Chris seem to be happy now, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out both of them were cheating and stepping out at one point in their marriage. Gwyneth even hinted as much when she discussed the idea of cheating and forgiveness, explaining, “No couple is the same, and as such, every couple takes on different challenges. I would like to think that I would be forgiving and/or forgiven, but I can’t give an honest answer as I haven’t really experienced that.”

That’s a really forgiving answer to give for someone who’s never ‘experienced’ that. I don’t buy her explanation and I think this is something that she’s faced on both ends – as both the cheater and the cheated on. Maybe she’s trying to set herself up for the inevitable tabloid revelation? While Vanity Fair’s focus might be more on her career, I’m sure they would be willing to delve into her private life, insofar that it actually contains information relevant to her public persona. Gwyneth and Chris have always been somewhat enigmatic, and while they’ve been getting papped more recently of late, they’re not a celebrity couple you would use as the ‘ideal’.

In the end, we’ll just have to wait and see how much the tabloids are willing to push into Gwyneth’s private life. What do you guys think? Do you think Gwyneth cheated on Chris Martin? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
